Virus pandemic confronts Memorial Weekend: • Some houses of worship stay closed, despite President Trump calling them essential, saying they should reopen. • COVID-19 cases fall in China, but surge in Latin America, India. • U.S. deaths surpass 96,000.

Kure Beach Ocean Rescue lifeguard Katy Kelly looks out from a stand at Kure Beach, N.C., Saturday, May 23, 2020. The town lifted the majority of beach restrictions related to the coronavirus on May 15.

Statewide, New York reported its lowest number of daily coronavirus deaths — 84 — in many weeks in what Gov. Andrew Cuomo described as a critical benchmark. The daily death tally peaked at 799 on April 8.Rain dampened the start of the holiday weekend in the northeastern U.S., where newly reopened beaches were expected to attract throngs of people and test the effectiveness of social distancing rules.

Some amusement parks, such as Mt. Olympus in the Wisconsin Dells and Lagoon amusement park in Farmington, Utah, opened to visitors for the first time in months. The Facebook sites for both parks were flooded with comments from visitors excited to ride go-karts or roller coasters, though some complained about Lagoon’s policy of requiring a mask for park entry.

In Germany, which has drawn praise for its handling of the virus, seven people appear to have been infected at a restaurant in the northwest of the country. It would be the first such known case since restaurants started reopening two weeks ago. Mindful of evangelical Christians who are key to his base of support ahead of November’s election, Trump on Friday labeled houses of worship as “essential” and urged governors to let them reopen this weekend. However, leaders of many denominations have said they plan to move gradually and cautiously.

You really think China is accurately reporting

The division in America is simple to understand. People who take the time to objectively search for REAL data and analysis, tend to support responsible freedom. People who rely on CNN with purely subjective data and agendas r happy 2 b prisoners in their homes

Trump 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You people who some how hate DT so much they blame him for the virus, but came from China.

you want to talk about the GovernorVA not following the guidelines that he, himself have forced upon VA!! Ralph Northam is a Tyrant!!!

Please stop reporting false China data

What's the significance of our government insisting that churches re-open?

Brazil is following Donald Trump.

Where did this virus originate ? What zip code is home for Wuhan, USA ?

Because we have nothing else to complain about this week. Next week will be something else and life goes on. Sad when the news only has masks to talk about very sad. I love my mask let kindness be contagious (I really don’t want to smell your breathe stay out of my space) thx

Media clowns still believe China.

The risk of death or serious illness is nearly zero-stop it!!!😡people are committing suicide because of this kind of reporting!

China 🙄

Citing CCP again. Gfy.

U.S. deaths now stand at 98,656. Thanks white nationalist MAGA nation for a job well done. Now screw all of you and 👇😷

'Despite' no, he wanted to give them the choice. Their religion, their choice.

I guarantee those death numbers are inflated. Not all died from Covid-19

Top 7 Democrat governed state take lion share of death toll. It equals 60,000. Now imagine how badly people like Gov Cuomo and Gov Murphy have been running their state. Worse than deplorable.

Most houses of worship here in rural Virginia will remain closed this weekend, as they broadcast and network their Sunday services via telephone and other media. No one feels cheated. Everyone is united. Beautiful.

houses of worship 'essential'

Still believing China. Amazing

Virus first challenge showed how poorly the economy is managed how fragile it is. Jobs work not needed for incomes to maintain consumer economy. Supply chains can run on half the workforce & automation stock mkt and sales tax provide basic income for consumers

If it is an essential BUSINESS then they need to pay taxes and their 501 C 3 should be REVOKED.

TRUMP SHOULD GO FU HIMSELF.

Covid cases fall in China? Oh give me a break. We know that that is and has been a lie for months now yet the Media continues to spread the Chinese propaganda. Its shameful and disheartening knowing that the American media will gladly betray the US for Chinese investment.

Trump is celebrating the deaths of 100,000 Americans by playing a round of golf...

What I want to know is where realDonaldTrump will be attending church services tomorrow given that he's so intensively concerned about churches opening up. 🖕🏽
